you may consider defining your acronyms on first use for the sake of programmers who are unfamiliar with them.

For anyone wondering, GOT is global offset table and PLT is procedure linkage table. gdb is the gnu debugger.

these are relevant if you, for some reason, want to write your own ELF parser, to load Linux executables without using the system loader.

it comes up fairly often when analyzing (or creating) advanced malware for linux

Elf is used in many places outside Linux.
